Make that 7...

A few days ago I posted that Kenneth and I have lived in 2 different states and 6 different places. Well, this fall we are going to make that 7!!!

We'll be looking for a new place to live here:

Kenneth was given a fellowship at the SMITHSONIAN!!! 

He is going to have a residency there for a year, an office, access to their archives, and he gets to work full time on his dissertation for the entire time!

 He is super cute and awesome, so I can't say I'm surprised... 

The question is, how am I going to leave this cute girl (and her brother)? I LOVE them so much.

I have been their nanny since they were this tiny!

Luckily, we will have good friends to distract us. 

Some of our very best friends live in Virginia and Maryland. 

Like these people:

And these:

We will be so sad to leave Boston. But we are excited to explore our new city. 

I am so proud of my smarty pants husband :) 

Happy Birthday Beatrix! And Happy Cinco de Mayo :)

Our little kitten turns 1 year old today! (Today meaning May 5th, which is when I meant to post this)... We love her so much and we are so grateful we adopted her :)

Here are some pictures of her first year:

Here she is when she was so tiny:

Asleep with her favorite toy. One of my hair bands.

One of our first family photos:

She is really good at helping me make quilts:

And even better at helping Kenneth write his dissertation:

We really love her :)

She loves us too :)

Although, it is possible she loves Kenneth a tiny bit more. Whenever he leaves she stands here and watches the door until he comes home, or until I distract her with a toy.

And she is now old enough to act embarrassed when I take her picture:
